ouch, hope there wasn't too much damage after loosing a wheel at 60 MPH(hopefully it stayed on somehow!)

Thats a bummer, right on up there with " I hate it when I can't find a place to dock my yaght", Maybe next time they should torque thier lug nuts to spec and not just use the impact wrench, or maybe they just plain forgot to tighten them all together after puting the lugs nut on snug tight and lower the jack.

thats what happens when you try to run 300+ whp in a grand prix. you break things.
08-25-2009
looks like he should have invested in some ARP wheel studs haha
08-25-2009
damn. What are you talking about fail?!? that's full of win!
08-25-2009
we did use the torque wrech... its just the 18s were so damn bg they broke the wheel studs hen they got traction
08-25-2009
dont think tire size has anything to do with it. but are yall ok?
08-25-2009
Yea we pulled right off ans had to get it towed
08-25-2009
cool, and i would be proud to say i broke stud lol.
just be pissed while i wait on the tow truck lol

I had a camaro club member do the same thing a few years back... it's just crazy to break wheel studs on a lauch... then again, he broke everything in his drivetrain (tail shaft and axles at least) and just kept replacing the broken stuff with and upgraded version, so the onlything left was the wheel studs!

Wheel studs do not break from power, they break from not being torqued properly.
The torque load of the axles should never be tranferd to the wheels via the wheel studs. The wheel studs hold the rim to the axle flange, it is the pressure between the rim and axle created by the nuts on the studs that hold everything together. If the pressure between the rim and axle is not great enough, there will be slip, just like on a manual clutch and pressure plate, if there is slip, it puts the wheel studs in sheer load and they are not design to handle that type of load, so they break.

put a giant G on that car cause thats Gansta!

The size of the rim has a lot to do with if you brake stuff. Bigger usually means more weight and that means more broken stuff.Originally Posted by silvermistchick

not all larger sized wheels are heavy, but ok..... i wasnt there so i wont speak on it. and brake stuff or break stuff lol. guess the daytona wheels break things quicker than the torque stars to then?? just asking not being an ass, i know they are heavy to.
08-27-2009
Yea the heavier the rim the easier it will BREAK stuff. Got it right this time.They will wear the brakes faster too from the more rotating mass.
08-27-2009
yeah but i hate my fat sidewalls i cant corner good. so torque stars are going in the trash lol.
08-27-2009
Send two to me I will throw some QTP's on them.
08-27-2009
